Haikus +

Here are some little haiku and a one-liner that I wrote earlier this year.

--- ---

Plateau
Blooming sun--close, bright--
heats prickly pear and blackbrush,
warms red summer sand.

Fallen Leaf
Wind against my face.
Gnats swarm in fading daylight
through the slatted trees.

Wilderness
Booming, crumbling snow.
Shaking glaciers make thunder
in desolation.

Study
I awoke thirsty
against the arm of the couch
with a flattened book.

Deadline
Summer's sunset lasts
longer than other seasons.
Does it have to end?

Old bridge
Across the long park bridge, its skewed boards glassy with rain.
